Interviu cu… TIESTO!
Tiesto este, cu siguranta, unul dintre cei mai cunoscuti si iubiti DJi din lume. DJ Mag spune asta, miile de fani de la concerte striga asta, zecile de mii de ascultatori a show-ului sau radio, Club Life (unde au aparut si Deepside Deejays), o sustin si ei. Nu poti spune trance sau dance fara sa spui Tiesto. Nu poti spune Traffic, Love comes again sau Dance 4 life fara sa te treaca fiori si fara sa-ti aduci aminte de cel putin un show de-al lui care te-a marcat.
Succesul lui Tiesto se datoreaza pasiunii lui imense pentru muzica, a modului in care se dedica unei cariere care-l poarta aproape saptamanal dintr-o parte intr-alta a lumii si face toate astea cu zambetul pe buze, cu castile pe urechi si cu degetele pe sintetizator. Intre toate astea mai are timp sa scrie si pe Twitter si pe Facebook, facandu-i pe fani fericiti nu doar cu muzica lui, ci si cu implicarea lui reala. Asta face din Tiesto unul dintre cei mai iubiti DJi din lume, care smulge la fiecare show siruri nesfarsite de aplauze si care ne-a dat piesele ale caror versuri le cantam si in somn.
Eu am fost incredibil de norocoasa sa am ocazia sa-i adresez cateva intrebari, nu doar pentru mine, ci si pentru voi, asa ca va invit sa ne bucuram impreuna de raspunsurile lui.
Pana la urma, muzica lui Tiesto ne spune, simplu: Just be!
1. Your music is heading towards new directions. It’s become edgier, a bit more electronic. How did this happen and what’s the reason behind it?
It is my progression as an artist. My music reflects all the different musical influences that I have been listening to, which includes a lot of indie rock, electro, techno and house and I draw from all of these when making new music.
2. What are the fans’ reactions towards this new style?
My fans are always very supportive of what I do and they have been amazing, they seem to be really enjoying my music and that’s what is most important.
3. Have you ever discovered any interesting DJs in your travels around the world?
I am always looking to find new music and new artists from all different genres and there are many great artists out there. Henrik B and Dada Life are really great – check them out!
4. You have a huge fan base on Twitter and Facebook. How does that help you connect with your fans?
Social networking is a huge part of what I do. I love that I can be in touch with my fans whenever I want and be close to them. I’m able to interact with them directly and that is what is so great about the online world. I am amazed that I have almost 5 million Facebook followers, my fans are amazing!
5. You rocked The Mission Dance Weekend in Romania! How was that experience for you?
It was great! I love performing and it was a great show, the vibe was electric!
6. What were your expectations about your new album, Kaleidoscope?
It was a great album to make. I worked with some amazing artists on it such as Tegan & Sara, Nelly Furtado, and Kele from Bloc Party. I feel that it brought together a lot of my musical influences really well. It was also amazing to rework these tracks on the new Kaleidoscope Remixed album, I worked with some of the best producers in the game and I was able to put a fresh new spin on the best Kaleidoscope tracks.
